Public bug reported:
Since upgrading to kernel 5.0.0-23-generic, the framebuffer tty is
unusable due to flickering like crazy, showing green rectangles instead
of a console. X.Org and Plymouth still display correctly.
In addition, the following message appears in dmesg:
[ 9191.868497] [drm:intel_cpu_fifo_underrun_irq_handler [i915]] *ERROR* CPU
pipe A FIFO underrun
[ 9687.876764] [drm:intel_cpu_fifo_underrun_irq_handler [i915]] *ERROR* CPU
pipe A FIFO underrun
My GPU is Intel UHD Graphics 620.
The problem does not occur on the 4.18.0-25-generic kernel, which
implies this might be a problem with the kernel, or the i915 module.
